Shrimp scampi is a beautiful blend of shrimp, garlic and the richness of butter. This month, I'm presenting a quick version with a creamy sauce that's perfect over pasta. When your busy week starts making things difficult, fight back by putting together a wonderful meal that's elegant and simple.

So, put together this simple dish, toss together a nice green salad, add some crusty bread to soak up the sauce and a crisp glass of white wine and pretend it's the weekend on a Wednesday night!!! Enjoy.
